EMS & Fire Prehospital Blood Programs

Bringing blood into the prehospital environment involves more than access to blood products. It requires clinical leadership, reliable supply, practical workflows and coordination across the people and organizations responsible for patient care.

Versiti brings blood supply, transfusion medicine expertise, operational partnership and community engagement together to help EMS organizations plan for a program designed to work in the field and over time.

Every EMS system has a different clinical environment, geography, call volume, hospital network and community. As your organization evaluates prehospital blood, important considerations may include.

• Clinical & Medical Oversight: Medical direction, protocols, patient criteria and blood-product strategy.
• Blood Supply & Stewardship: Availability, storage, replenishment, rotation and inventory management.
• Training & Field Readiness: Education, competency, equipment and operational workflows.
• Hospital Coordination: Receiving hospitals, transfusion services, handoff, documentation and communication.
• Program Governance: Ownership, escalation, measurement and quality.
• Long-Term Sustainability: A supply and operating model that can adapt as utilization and program needs change.

No two EMS systems operate exactly alike. Versiti works with your team to apply blood supply, clinical expertise and operational support to the realities of your organization.

• Understand Your Program: We start with your goals, clinical environment, stakeholders, hospital relationships, current capabilities and known barriers.
• Build the Right Approach: Together, we work through blood products, supply and rotation, clinical considerations, workflows, training and hospital coordination.
• Prepare for Implementation: Versiti helps connect the people, processes and blood-supply requirements needed to move your program toward field readiness.
